I'm sure the team will have no problems with that. I of course know nothing of that side of things :) I just do the writing :) hehe Nicole On Tue, Apr 5, 2011 at 5:48 PM, Lori Bowen Ayre <lori.ayre@galecia.com> wrote:

Sounds great to me.  I find it very frustrating that it isn't searchable.  Sounds like a good solution.  Maybe you could provide some admin credentials to someone else in the community to help maintain it just so it isn't a 100% ByWater affair.  Just a thought. Lori

One of the complaints about the Koha manual is that it's not searchable. This was because we (aka Liz) went out of her way to  make the manual work in the WordPress template we were using (which we all appreciate very very very much).  After months of trying to figure how to make the manual searchable, we came to the conclusion that it would have to be pulled out of the WP site and put on it's own plain old HTML page.  So, ByWater has set up such a site that pulls the manual from git nightly and updates it - once we get that site finalized we can investigate search options.  I'm writing to ask the community for permission to have manual.koha-community.org point to ByWater's servers to host up the manual for all to see.  We can keep the page on the WordPress site that lists the manuals and I'll just update the links to point to the right place.

If this is okay with whomever needs to make such a decision (all of you and those who hold the domain) please let us know and we'll get the necessary info to the person in charge of managing DNS.

Thanks all, just a quick follow up, we got a lot of approval messages, but no one telling us who to contact to get DNS set up :) Thanks in advance, Nicole On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 4:52 AM, Elaine Bradtke <eb@efdss.org> wrote:

I think the ability to search the manuals would be a real boon.  Pity it doesn't work in the WP site. I don't have any personal objections to ByWater hosting it on their server.
